APPARTEMENT NANCY THERMAL/ARTEM/PARC STE MARIE Le 61 LES THERMES

The hot and cold small pools were lovely, and the central round pool sits under a domed roof with stained glass skylights. It was such a nice experience swimming and bathing in the natural hot spring water in those beautiful surroundings. The sauna is reachable from both the indoor and outdoor pool areas. If you're in Nancy, you should visit the spa.

The place has potential, but in its current state it’s a wasted opportunity. There was no relaxing spa atmosphere for me, it felt like an ordinary swimming pool, and I wouldn’t return. It’s small and nowhere near worth the 19,50€ price for two hours. That gets you three warm pools, one sauna, a cold and strange “music cave,” and a relaxation room with warm beds, which was the best part. The hot pool and the two cold pools beside it were closed that day. The sauna has only two showers and water buckets that aren’t especially cold, so you end up waiting. People talked in there and didn’t use towels. Areas outside the pools looked dirty, and the whole place seemed unfinished. There’s no map or clear signage to help you find your way. The showers and changing rooms are shared by men and women, and the floor was extremely slippery, unlike any other pool or spa I’ve visited.

The bathrooms have a nice atmosphere and are clean. 💯

The bath looks beautiful and has a lot of potential, but it didn’t feel like that potential was being used, so we left disappointed. The hot stones weren’t warm at all, and we had to look for them in a cold room. The deck chair area near them could feel much more inviting with some plants. There should be one small pool that’s properly hot, because we were just freezing. At least there was a sauna. The music pool was strange to lie still in while pop music played. It needs relaxing music.
